The Best and Worst Wedding Songs

Posted on Tuesday 10 January 2006

My cousin has an entertaining thread open: What are some good and bad ideas for first dance songs at a wedding? You know you have some ideas…go to his blog and leave a comment.

I only posted bad songs on his thread. They are:

  • U2′s I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For
  • Probably anything by Alanis Morissette would be a bad sign for the groom.
  • David Allen Coe’s You Never Even Called Me By My Name
  • Bon Jovi’s You Give Love a Bad Name
  • Soft Cell’s Tainted Love
  • Pearl Jam’s Last Kiss
  • Waylon Jenning’s Looking for Love (In All the Wrong Places)
  • Nazareth’s Love Hurts
  • Dixie Chick’s Goodbye, Earl
  • From the Chicago Soundtrack: The Cell Block Tango
  • The Righteous Brother’s You’ve Lost That Loving Feeling
  • Queen’s Another One Bites the Dust
  • I submit that Marilyn Manson should never be played at a wedding.
  • I’ve always wanted to get the DJ to play Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On, but haven’t had any success in the past.
  • Barry White’s Can’t Get Enough of Your Love, Baby (or any randomly chosen Barry White song, for that matter) would be another one to make the couple leave a little earlier than planned to start the honeymoon.
  • Kanye West’s Gold Digger
  • Elvis Presley’s Suspicious Minds
  • From the O Brother, Where Art Thou Soundtrack: Man of Constant Sorrow

Head over to his blog and submit your suggestions. They just might end up being played at my brother’s wedding :) .

    I’ve been to weddings when the DJ played Let’s Get It On. Maybe the ones you talked to were prudes.

    Either that or the bridal couple were a prudes and requested the DJ not to play it. Or, someone else went hog wild making a bunch of requests before I could get my request in the queue :? .
